A good traveller has no fixed plans, and has no intent on arriving
Lao Tzu
Engaging in Kairos involves following your senses, your wonder and your joy by walking close to nature – in a park, a forest, on a beach.
The mind, like the feet works at about three miles per hour. If this is so, then modern life is moving faster than the speed of thought
Rebecca solnit, wanderlust
Kronos is the time of clocks and calendars; it can be quantified and measured. Kronos is linear, moving inexorably out of the determinate past toward the determined future, and has no freedom. Kairos is numinous time. Kairos is a time of festivals and fantasies; it cannot be controlled or possessed. Kairos is circular, dancing back and forth, here and there, without beginning or ending, and knows no boundaries.
